We have a classic spring set up over the next several days with a number of cold fronts and the weather bouncing between warmer than normal and colder than normal, especially around the South Island.

Winds will also come and go over the next several days with perhaps this Saturday looking the windiest and wettest for some regions.

The good news is that regions that have been much drier than average in recent months are getting some rain over the next week. Most dry regions should get some relief.
